The WSL invincibles? Chelsea eye records after sealing another title

Chelsea plays against themselves just like any other team in the Women’s Super League.

The Blues won their sixth consecutive WSL title on Wednesday night with a score of 1-0 at Manchester United, their first under new manager Sonia Bompastor.

Handshakes and hugs, rather than tears of joy, may have contributed to the somewhat muted celebrations at full-time.

The Champions League is another area where Chelsea continue to look for the holy grail.

Three days after Barcelona’s third consecutive season of failing to win a first European title, the Blues were awarded this title, and Barcelona won 8-2 overall, more comprehensively than ever.

How can Chelsea make sure this title win stands out among the others and that this season, which could result in a domestic treble of the WSL, League Cup, and FA Cup, is not somehow viewed as a disappointment?

After scoring the winner at Leigh Sports Village, Chelsea defender Lucy Bronze said, “We wanted to be unbeaten.”

“We have a good feeling about our season because we are unbeaten this year, so we knew there were still two things to play for.” Before the game, we were aware of Arsenal’s weaknesses and what we needed, but we also vowed to keep the league title in tact all season long.

Only three previous unbeaten teams have won the WSL, including Chelsea themselves in 2018, Manchester City in 2016, and Arsenal in 2012, respectively.

Over the current 22-game season format, however, it has never been done. Chelsea will have opened new ground if they avoid losing to Tottenham on Sunday, May 10th, when they travel to Liverpool.

Bompastor will have to deal with the repercussions of such a subpar Champions League exit, but he can still claim the most comprehensive WSL title in history.

At Leigh Sports Village, Ambassador Bertpastrelli stated at the post-game press conference, “I always look for perfection and the ideal.”

I want to keep a clean sheet because I told my players defensively and out of position. I want to compete with one another. We discussed how to manage the depth, how to be compact, how to win the duels, and how to win the second balls. All of these details are included.

“I never feel satisfied,” he said. I’m already focused on the treble and the other finals even after winning.

Since Laura Harvey took Arsenal to the top of the inaugural league in 2011, Bompastor has become the first manager to win the WSL title in their first season.

Everyone at Chelsea anticipates that you will win the league, she said. The competition is higher here than it was in Lyon, he says. It’s difficult to do it in my first season to be able to do it for Chelsea for six consecutive years.

It’s “too easy for Chelsea,” I heard, but it’s not! I don’t understand how people can believe that when you can go two ways and still be unbeaten, defeating Manchester City, Arsenal, and Manchester United. It is incredible.

Don’t believe it to be simple. Never easy, ever. It’s a great accomplishment and a lot of daily tasks. My players are not allowed to breathe.

“I want to thank Emma [Hayes],” she said. She must be delighted to receive our title tonight, I assure her. She left the club with a fantastic location to expand on what she had accomplished.

Chelsea hasn’t always let down rival teams this campaign; they have scored fewer goals than second-placed Arsenal, and no other player has ever recorded double figures.

Their league campaign was capped on Wednesday night. Before half-time, when Millie Bright appeared to trip Grace Clinton, United had more shots, a higher xG, and a very strong shout for a penalty. Hannah Hampton, the player of the match, made five saves for Chelsea.

However, they discover a way to triumph and triumph. Importantly, avoid losing.

“I always wanted to win trophies when I first joined this club,” Hampton told the BBC. It is amazing that we have won the title twice in the two seasons I’ve been here. It never gets old. It’ll never get old as long as we keep winning.

Chelsea currently has three games left before the FA Cup final against Manchester United on May 18 and two league games before that.

It would be a remarkable accomplishment to leave it unbeaten domestically.
